    Only you can answer that, Anthony, although I personally
    couldn't do my job without one.

    Microchip's PIC-Master CE is the best I've seen.  The ICEPIC
    isn't bad, although it doesn't have the PIC-Master's trace
    buffer and it doesn't support the 17Cxx series.

    Yes.  Even though MPLAB isn't the best POSSIBLE emulator
    environment, it's better than all the others.

    Yeah, more or less.

    Here in the States, a PIC-Master CE costs $2300 US.  The ICEPIC
    costs around $700 US.
